39 Stunning Images Of Beaches In Black And White

Share:  

Not something you'd immediately think of is photographing beaches in black and white. However, it is something you may wish to consider and hopefully, this gallery will inspire you to think imaging your next seascapes in black and white.

In the digital age, we need to convert to black and white. Of course, great black and whites start in camera, but the biggest challenges in black and white photography lie in knowing which images will work well in black and white and in understanding the important role post-processing plays in controlling tone and contrast when converting a photo to black and white.

Jason Row listed for us 5 specific requirements that black and white images require to work well:

  1. Scenes With Good Tonal Contrast
  2. Scenes With Contrasting Primary Colours
  3. Strong Directional Light
  4. Textures
  5. Geometry

You'll see that these stunning seascapes have these in spades (pun intended)
